A wind farm generator uses a four-bladed propeller mounted on a pylon at a height of 15 m, as shown in the figure. The width of the pylon is very narrow, and the length of each propeller blade is 5 m. A tip of the propeller breaks off just when the propeller is vertical as shown in figure. The fragment flies off horizontally, falls, and strikes the ground at a distance P from the base with negligible air resistance. Just before the fragment broke off, the propeller was turning uniformly, taking 1.2 s for each rotation. How long is the distance P?

 

A.13 m

B.92 m

C.36 m

D.107 m

E.120 m
